There is a party that would swear they seen the whole thing if nessery, but I don’t want to (do) anything like that if you will kindly help me out. You would hardly miss what would be a great deal to mo and God above will bless you hereafter. Just think for a moment, if you was in my place, and it is not my fait, if I wras called before God this minute. I want you to drop me a note in the office,and tell me what you can do immediately, for I want to go away from town until I get all-right. You will never lose anything by befriending a woman in my condition, but if not you are sure to. I guess you know who this is from, but maybe I had better tell you if you will do what is write, no one will ever know anything about it, that is the reason I did not come to you in person. Answer this in the name of Mollie Barnes, and no one will get it. I want to go away before everything is too far gone.

Ingalls, president of the C., L, St. L. C. road, is said to be fully determined to build a St. Louis line. When he named the road the Cincinnati, Indianapolis, St. Louis Chicago he intended sooner or later to build a St. Louis line. Should he secure control of the I., D.

At the present time he has parties looking for the most feasible route to build either of the extensions above mentioned. That Mi*.
